Abstract
Operator intervention in parking a truck and positioning a dock leveler for performing a loading or unloading operation is simplified by a vehicle restraint actuator which is responsive to movement of the dock leveler or other vehicle loading mechanism to cause a vehicle restraint to engage an ICC bar of a vehicle. The vehicle restraint is held in place by a latch mechanism, which is released when the vehicle loading mechanism is moved to perform loading or unloading.
